It’s kind of funny, because if you really think about Apple is actually the monopoly.
Not according to the courts. Psystar's attempt to defend itself by attacking Apple as a monopoly in "Mac OS X compatible computers" was thrown out of court on its ear. Apple is a monopolist only in the same way that Honda is a monopolist in reference to Honda automobiles. Economically and legally one cannot be a "monopolist" for its own copyrighted or patented products. One can only be a monopolist in reference to a "market."
Ummm, sure.... just like H-P is a monopoly because they're the only ones who sell ProLiant servers. And Dell is a monopoly because they're the only ones who sell Dimensions...
What a dumb line of pseudo-reasoning.
Hello? Apple has a market niche, not a monopoly. They are the sole-source for their trademarked products. That's not monopoly.
Microsoft is a 9000-pound gorilla with huge market-share, but even they are no longer really a monopoly, since there are credible competitors who (finally!) are kicking MSFT's butt to an increasing degree.
I suggest that you look up your definitions.
